Welcome to the twilight zo...I mean the demilitarized zone.

Last weekend me, Kristi and our friends Ryan and Laura went to the DMZ on a guided tour. Unfortunatly you dont have much freedom to move around on your own, which I guess makes sense as it is a military complex. Anyway, we were shown quick documentary that was accompanied by some propgahdist montage, all of which was shown on 3 screens with 6 projectors! For all that set up, they really do not take advantage of the hardware. We got to see a tunnel that the north allegedly dug after the agreement (sorry no pics were allowed) and an observatory station where you can look into north korea (pictures were limited, as you will see). There was a museum that has some cool features, like a glass floor with a tiny model of the DMZ underneath it. Mind you, their use of dollar store plastic animals gave the set up some serious scale issues, but I guess that just adds to the cuteness. I found the monochrome feature on the camera and got a little too trigger happy with it, but at least the pictures turned out okay.
Afterwards we hit up Hongdea for some coffee and browsing around.



























Until next time,
Cheers!
